SiteSearch

SiteSearch is a dedicated search add-on that provides advanced search capabilities with a high level of ease-of-use, including automatic access control awareness, fast indexing based on Sitellite collections and not by spidering your web site (the traditional way), built-in usage statistics accessible via the Sitellite control panel, and best of all it requires no special PHP configuration, just like Sitellite. SiteSearch has three parts: an Apache Lucene-based server, a PHP front-end client for integrating into your web site, and the aforementioned statistics screen. The PHP front-end talks to the server, which is a small and fast Java application, through XML-RPC, thus eliminating the usual requirement of similar applications of either installing the PHP Java extension (which is still experimental), or one of various other dedicated search extensions, all of which require that you recompile PHP to run their application. With SiteSearch, we've brought scalable searching to where it should be, available to (just about) any web site.
